Community

St. Ann’s by-the-SeaOpen Communion St. Ann’s is a compassionate, welcoming community in the Episcopal tradition where people of all faiths are invited to join us for worship and fellowship. Whether a local resident, a seasonal resident or a visitor to our community, you are welcome to worship with us and participate in the Holy Eucharist. We invite you to bring canned goods, toiletries, or diapers to services so that we might all share our bounty with those in our community who are less fortunate.

Meditation and Reflection The picturesque location of St. Ann’s, on a rocky point at the mouth of the Kennebunk River overlooking the ocean and beaches is an ideal spot for meditation and reflection. The property and historic chapel are open daily to all visitors from sunrise to sunset. This peaceful respite is an inviting place to wander through gardens, enjoy a picnic, or simply enjoy the serenity and ocean breezes.

Outreach in the Kennebunks and the Diocese of Maine Mindful of the stewardship entrusted to us, members and friends of St. Ann’s actively reach out to support those less fortunate, both locally and in the Diocese of Maine. Outreach activities are supported through direct contributions, special gifts, and the entire proceeds of the St. Ann’s Annual Fellowship Outing. We invite you to join the St. Ann’s community in providing assistance through the following organizations:

Community Harvest, providing holiday meals to residents of the Kennebunks and Arundel.

Seeds of Hope in Biddeford,in support of their programs aiding needy families and local food pantries.
